<blockquote><blockquote>I've always had a love affair with it since sneaking off with friends as 6 year old kids and riding 'til the end of the lines. I don't feel that far removed from those times 28 years later. Just now it's records instead of Japanese models.

 you were chilling w/ japanese models on the bus when you were 6??? were they child models? or did you just date older women during your elementary school years?

 Nice finds, Ari. You know you're more than welcome to visit any time you want. 
 
 IS the Noel Ellis the LP or the 12"? Either way, deep stuff. That label has quite a rich story. 
 
 Don't know the Lighthouse 12". SOunfile? 
 
 I can see Detroit having some reggae links as many older Jamaicans made frequent visits (most looking for indy Detroit soul 45's). 
 
 a couple things I found today

 Sporty was there for the genesis of Studio 1, wrote tunes for Marley/Wailers, made some killer indy funk jams in Miami (the Oceanliners are his band)..and married BEtty Wright. He sings this tune perfectly.
